Love Island Winter 2023 - Nah bruv it's Thread 2!

[MotherofKitties]

New thread

I think I read somewhere that Tanya has skin pigment problems - vitiligo I think it’s caused. Although I often think these girls are cleverer than they seem, they are probably fishing for extension contracts post LI, it’s win win if they are already popular then a brand can swoop in with the cash and make them look even better.
agree that Shaq is faking to get screen time. I like the new boys :)
100% Ron get in the bin!
who do we think is getting dumped?

Just watched.

I had a feeling Shaq might react like that. He hasn't had any reason to show a possessive streak until now. I'm so glad Tanya said that behaviour gives her the ick. So many women, especially younger ones, see possessiveness positively, as if it shows how deep the man's feelings are. I don't think she was wrong to kiss the others like that, it's just a game - and she's right, Shaq should feel proud he gets the real deal.

Still like Olivia and agree she's a bit of a Gemma, who I also liked. Didn't see the need for her to stir up the Tanyel/Ron stuff though. Perhaps to take the attention off her and Kai, as probably realises Tanyel won't be overjoyed about that?

@CellophaneFlower What is it that you like about Olivia?

I think she seems quite straight up and carries herself well. She handled the situation with Tom really well, didn't go off like a raving banshee, despite being riled up by the girls. She has self worth and doesn't just go round sticking her tongue down any boys throat who shows an interest in order to claim him. With regards to Tom, this was her downfall, although one could argue she had a lucky escape 😅

Agreeing with the other poster's too in that Spencer looks so hot in glasses. I find it hilarious how glasses really suit people these days, men and women. I wear mine daily now and think I look much better with them. Years ago I walked around practically blind for years as I didn't want to wear them and was too squeamish to put lenses in my eyes 🙄

Also, going back to Olivia, I totally get why Kai said he'd thought she'd be hard work but he's changed his opinion, as so did I.

If she really has been keen on Kai all along, I think it's another positive part of her nature that she hasn't voiced this whilst Tanyel was with him.

I'm a couple of episodes behind so I haven't read to the end of the thread.

Does anyone know what foundation Lana uses? Or does she just have good skin?

I've looked online but there is nothing for this series.

Thank you.

First look is up!

Main thing I took from it is how stunning Maya Jama is, she's just gorgeous

But also, presumably a recoupling with the girls choosing this time

I don't like these snogging challenges, too much saliva and too much tongue...Jesus Christ Tanyel's tongue bleurgh! No-one needs that much tongue. Although Tom's rating of her was funnily brutal! Tanyel is def all in for Ron, I'm not sure she has noticed he's friend zoned her several times.

Also in that challenge should have been no touching and definitely no raising of leg, looking at you Tanya! I think I'd have done a Jessie and done short crap kisses if I was totally in with someone there.

If we are losing two guys would prefer Kai and Aaron to go, they add nothing. Spencer needs more time in there. First look doesn't exactly give much away does it...throw us a bone! 😂

"It's only because I care about you so much" Run, Tanya, run! Not getting good vibes from Shaq at all.

Yes, pretty sure every boy there would suddenly become "open" if Maya was in the mix!

That was exactly my thought. Serious red flags there with the 'only because I care for you'

Have just seen First Look.
Kai’s sudden interest in Olivia is interesting.

Maya is stunning

What a waste of time half the chats are.

Do you think they could incorporate some relationship coaching in to the programme?

Yes, dull and repetitive, and give no insight in to the character of those speaking. I'd rather see more of the chats during which they decide if they "vibe" and to see if they've got anything in common at all

So least fave boy and girl going.

My vote would be Kai or Aaron, then Olivia and Samie maybe Tanyel it’s hard!

@FiloPasty is it least favourite boy and girl tonight? I saw the boys' vote but not one for the girls.

Just the boys tonight. Rumoured two to be leaving

I want to know this as well because her skin goes from being normal with blemishes in the day to absolutely perfectly glowing at night. There are some No7 foundation bottles lined up in the dressing room when the girls get ready but I don't know if the girls actually use the stuff

I hope Kai goes purely because I can't stand the way he says "gassed". He was "gassed" to be coupled up with Tanyel (it's pretty much the only word he used on their brunch date), he was gassed to be allowed to pick Samie and now he's gassed to be entertaining Olivia. Fuck off!!

Lana is a makeup artist on Brassic so she’ll know all the right things to use!

I agree with PP who said they don’t trust Tanya neither do I, I just don’t think she’s that into Shaq. Tanyel is a perfect example of a frenemy, claims to be a girls girl but is snaking after your fella! Hope Ron goes and Lana finds love with Casey. I don’t know who Jordan will match with but he seems canny, Spencer’s bland to me. Olivia take ice queen to the max, given she’s 28 and never had a boyfriend it seems this is why! Samie and Ellie don’t seem to have much about them either.

I'm still on Team Shaq. I think he was expecting Tanya to act more like Jessie and he's allowed to be upset about that not being the case.

He's proven to be emotionally mature and First Look backs that up (whilst Tanya acts like a sulky child). He knows Tanya isn't as into him as he is to her and maybe there's some self preservation kicking in.

Tanyel is really snakey, she has been making a low key play for Ron for a while now while saying all the right things to Lana in a pseudo supportive way. Snake.

Ron is a gaslighting twat, he has the gift of the gab and is using it to trample on Lana.

Shaq, yes I’d be upset too. He’s slept with her and they are apparently in ‘love’. She went all out snogging the boys - imagine if Shaq had done this to her? Not cool really imo.

Will’s crotch thrusting makes me feel a bit ill.

Olivia just seems to mirror whichever boy she’s talking to then stares intently into his eyes and drawls in a stand offish way while pouting.

I agree, it must have been difficult to watch.

Agree too re Tanya. Whilst I'm all up for 'girl power' I do think if a boy has done this then they would have been hauled over the coals.

I did laugh at Jessie's efforts 🤣
